About This Home

Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this spacious home in Fairbank offers the perfect blend of modern style, functional space, and a rare in-town setting on nearly an acre—conveniently located right across from the elementary school. Featuring 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and over 2,800 finished square feet, this home has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout. The main floor showcases new flooring, fresh paint, and a welcoming living area. The finished basement adds even more flexibility with two additional bedrooms (new egress windows last fall) and two bonus rooms (no egress)—perfect for a home office, gym, etc. Outside, enjoy the space of a .89-acre lot—an uncommon find in town. Enjoy the convenience of being just steps from the elementary school and pool! We’ve had inquiries about parceling off the back lot so this could be an option for someone wanting to lower the mortgage amount! Please call or text the for sale by owner phone number listed to take a look.
